I agree, and I thought the AR atrium above the real set was a mistake.
I still think it looked pretty decent, though, for something that presumably cost a lot less than the Elstree election centre. There were elements I really loved, such as the background behind the main desk and how they made more use of the outside of Broadcasting House.
I'm not against the broadcasters using their regular studios on election night if it's done well. NBC and MSNBC are good examples of that.
I just hope Studio B looks better than it did for the local elections, although I have a feeling it will. One element that I expect (and hope) we'll set again is the people working at desks on the balcony screens to make the studio look bigger than it is.
